Postwar Trade and Dollar Flows Across the World
The article describes postwar shifts in global gold reserves and dollar flows. It notes a peak in gold hoards around 1949, a large import surge spurred by Korea, and rising exports as Europe and Latin America earn dollars selling coffee metals wool and oil. It explains Uncle Sam will subsidize about 4 billion of a 15 billion dollar balance and that about 12.5 billion may be paid in goods and cash, with some nations holding dollars as reserves. Imports peaked in March at over 1 billion, exports peaked in April at 1.4 billion, and for most postwar years exports were paid by U S aid funds.
